Some raw gameplay from this morning's playtest build. (3x speed). I'm a solo dev who was laid off from AAA last year and trying to get something going before unemployment runs out. I'm hoping this game might go somewhere. https://youtu.be/bxCoW4-kEDY

I ran an open beta week before last. Everyone loved the building mechanics and the feel of the world, but many players found it a little unengaging. I took that feedback and reworked things quite a bit.
First, I turned the environment into an antagonist with the introduction of the concept of a corruption stealing the magic from the land. Then added a tiny bit of a magic system so that players bring the eggs into this world from another realm using the magic they reclaim from the corruption. Now players take a more active role in shaping the world and determining the type of dragons that hatch into it.
Once an egg is in the world the players complete tasks to prepare for the dragon within, and feed magic into the egg to help it hatch. I removed the "Gremlin" Bots and now the dragons themselves complete the tasks, and each dragon has a different set of things it will do and a bit of a sense of personality. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3472390/view/596271781985125385?l=english
